How to beat loneliness Loneliness is a subjective feeling. You may be surrounded by other people, friends, family, workmates — yet still feel emotionally or socially disconnected from those around you. Other people are not guaranteed to shield us against the raw emotional pain that loneliness inflicts. But raw emotional pain is only the beginning of the damage loneliness can cause.

For these students especially, useful study must go beyond the rote memorization of facts and figures. It is not enough to know that the Eighth Amendment is concerned with cruel and unusual punishment.
